    If I’d never eaten at the Cape Grace before, my review might be different. If you’re an old Capetonian, then this restaurant has lost all the charm and ambience of this beautiful old stalwart. It’s good, but it’s good in a ‘same as all the other chain hotels’ way. The cocktails were not up to Fairmont standard and there were no traditional South African style desserts which seems like a missed opportunity. The ‘cool’ crockery made eating some dishes really difficult. I’d eat here again, but I wouldn’t run back.

    Service and food were delicious, but the atmosphere stole the show. 1508 London design firm created a comfortable yet contemporary vibe that made the overall experience spectacular!

    What a wonderful experience we had at Heirloom. The staff was very friendly and professional. The food was excellent. We were a group of four and had different choices but everything was really special Good sized portions of high quality, So was the wine. We were served full glasses and even some refills. We can recommend this place for sure also because the ambience is very pleasant with a nice view on the harbor
